Day 16 Celebrating From A Distance...

Happy 8th Birthday to my favorite little nephew...called him and discovered that he was eating a traditional Irish breakfast for his special day...lots of heavy comfort food...a habit he picked up in Ireland. I think it was a lovely tribute to our Irish roots...so glad that we do not eat that way every day...or at least any more! Thought about how slender and active my little man is...a soccer and baseball lover...a player with trains and bats and balls...and a little man with a rabid sweet tooth...so, watch out there...little man, as you begin your new year...hang on to the older ways...sifting through the good and bad...and avoid the silliness of what our culture offers you...a bite of ice cream and a lick of chocolate and top o' the morning to you, my dear.
